well

yes actually, kind of

i've got a bit more plumbing to hook up first but emailing imaging schedules to myself is plausible, then a horrifying series of rsyncs to move data back + confirmation email after each target

raptop, iximeow: How about operating it via IRC, and receiving the images as ASCII-art multi-line messages?

my brain is too smooth to do lambdas, how do I do the thing where it's like foreach Message in List<message> where message.getAuthor().equals(user_tag)

"Beginning August 13, 2021, we will no longer accept account passwords when authenticating Git operations on GitHub.com."
<raptop>
so, uh, does this mean I can no longer use git commandline?
<raptop>
And, like, what was the point of generating a 16 character password from the set of printable ascii?
<raptop>
anyway, it sounds like I'd need to buy a yubikey (how much are those, a few k?) per account?
<raptop>
And, like I don't know who the relevant vendors would be. Do they even sell to individuals, or would I need to go through eg: GMU's IT department?

raptop: no you just need to generate a token once for each device from which you use github
<raptop>
A token is generally a piece of hardware used for 2FA purposes, yes?

<egg|anbo|egg>
a password which you dump into a configuration file and forever forget, and which is unrelated to the thing you use to actually log into the site
<egg|anbo|egg>
(and which has its own permissions etc.)

<raptop>
...okay, I've generated a token, but it looks like it's only relevant for new (well, new local) repositories?
<raptop>
fun fact: "token" does not appear anywhere in git config --help. "password" does in a number of places, though they don't seem relevant
* raptop
stares at my .gitconfig file which only has name and email fields
<egg|anbo|egg>
raptop: yes because the tokens are a github thing, not a git thing; I think you just pretend it is a password for git porpoises? I don’t remember
<egg|anbo|egg>
the github documentation tends to be enough to figure out how to set things up in my eggsperience
